A stylized floral or heraldic ornamental device appears at the center below the mountain's base. The Cyrillic inscription ХАН-ТЕҢИРИ arcs along the upper margin. The silver fineness and weight notation Ag 925/28,28 is inscribed in the lower left field, while the denomination 10 СОМ is prominently displayed in the lower center of the coin. |

| Additional information |
The Kyrgyz som was introduced in May 1993 after the republic's departure from the Soviet ruble zone, making the National Bank one of the younger issuing authorities in the post-Soviet space. This 2001 silver issue falls within a period when Kyrgyzstan was actively building a numismatic program largely from scratch, contracting production to foreign mints — most pieces of this era were struck at the Pobjoy Mint in the UK or at Kremnica in Slovakia.
KM#4 is sparsely documented in major references, with mintage figures difficult to verify independently.
